1 UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Washington, DC The Director MAR Deputy Assiscant Secretary for Human Resources Department of Health and I I uman Services Washington, DC Dear Ms. Wells: By this letter, the Offce of Personnel Management (OPM) is approving direct-hire appointing authority (DHA) for positions at the Department of Ilealth and Human Services (HHS) necessary to support the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the Act). This DHA is authorized for the remainder of FY 2010 to assist HHS in meeting urgent staffing and implementation needs resulting from enactment of the Act. By regulation, OPM may decide independently that a critical hiring need exists. Upon review of the Act and in consultation with HHS, I have determined that DIIA is warranted under the criteria of5 CFR (b), as set forth below, for the remainder of this fiscal year in connection with HHS 's work in support of the Act. (l) ldent!ficarion of the positions that must be.filled. HHS has a critical need to fill l,814 positions this fiscaj year to implement the Act, as described below: Title Series/Grade Positions Level Socia1 Science Analvst/Soecialist Health Insurance Specialist Administrative and Program Soecialist Program Analyst/Mana1zrnent Analyst Accountant GS GS-107-9/15 GS-301-9/15 GS GS-510-9/ Dental Officer GS /14 90 Public Health Advisor/Analyst Consumer Safety Officer Grants Management Specialist Criminal Investigator GS-685-9/ l 4 GS-696-9/13 GS-I GS / Information Technology Specialist GS / Total: 1814 (2) Description of the event or circumstance that created the need to fill 1he posiiions. HHS is charged with carrying out the President's top Administration priority, as Our mission is to ensure the Federal Government has au effective civilian workforce
2 2 described in the Act. The Act has greatly expanded the mission at HHS. To put in place the infrastructure needed to meet the mission requirements that result from the new law, HHS must fill 1,814 positions in FY HHS must hire quickly in order to execute the President's directive with respect to implementing health care refonn. HHS is required lo execute the following statutory obligations in the short-term: Improvements to Medicare Part D for Prescription Drug Plans - The Secretary makes determinations July l, 2010-December 31, 2010; Sec. 3301, page line 20.

Sec , page , line 8. Health Care Quality Improvement. The Secretary shall provide for the transfer, from Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Program Management for each fiscal year 2010 through 2014; Sec. 931, page , line 17. Interagency Working Group on Health Care Quality to collaborate, cooperate, and consult between Federal departments and agencies with respect to developing and disseminating strategies, goals, models, and timetables that are consistent with national priorities. Report to Congress NLT December 31, Sec. 3012, page , line 21. Other requirements, for which HHS needs additional staff immediately include: Tax changes related to health insurance and to financing health reform; Long-term care; extending Medicaid fiscal funds for a demonstration program upon enactment through September 2016; Changes to private insurance through the establishment of an internet website po11al with standard format to help state residents identify and compare coverage options as well as expand to include small business, and the establishment of a temporary high-risk pool with option to provide through provision of funds to states for health coverage to individuals with preexisting conditions; Provide dependent coverage for children up to age 26 for all individual and group policies;

Increase work force supply and support training of health professionals through scholarship and loans. Support primary care, establish public health workforce loan repayment program, promote training of a diverse workforce, and promote cultural competence training of health care professionals Establish conununity health insurance options. This \VOrk must be completed annually, a study must be conducted, and a report made to Congress. identify cmrent State practices that prohjbit payment for health care acquired conditions and incorporate the practices identified, or clements of such practices, which the Secretary determines appropriate for application to the Medicaid program in regulations effective July I, 2011; see Sec. 2702, page 520, line 21 of the Act. The Secretary of HHS must develop and maintain a complaint system that is widely known, easy to use, to collect, and maintain information on prescription drug complaints; Secretary must develop a complaint form and place on the HHS website, as well as, submit arurnal repo11s to Congress; see Sec. 3311, page 945, line 12 of the Act. HHS will also oversee initiatives where required for all individuals to have insurance, establish a ne"v health insurance exchange, require most employers to provide insurance, and ban insurance companies from denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions and more. (3) Specifcation of the duration for which the critical hiring need is expected to exist. OPM anticipates this critical hiring need will exist through September 30, OPM expects HHS to use other hiring authorities to meet staffing needs in support of the Act in FY 20 I I and beyond. (4) Evidence that demonstrates why the use ( /'other hiring authorities is impractical or ineffective. Use of traditional hiring authorities is impractical given the scope of the changes to current law that need to be implemented and HHS's need to begin implementing the provisions of the Act immediately. HHS continues to make use of the following appointment authorities: Career and Career-Conditional Appointments, Excepted Service Appointments, Veterans Recruitment Appointments, Veterans Employment Opportunity Authority.
4 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. 4 Disabled Appointing Authority, and the 30% Disabled Veterans Appointing Authority. Even with the availability of these authorities, HHS needs DHA in order to meet this critical hiring need during the remainder of FY 20 l 0 in support of the Act. Based oo the above, your authority reads: HHS-001 issued on the date of this letter to fill 1,814 mission critical posicions at the GS-9 through GS-15 grade levels (or equivalent) as depicted above nationwide. This authority is based on a critical hiring need in support of the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 20 I 0. This authority expires on September 30, Using this DHA For the remainder of this fiscal year, HHS may give individuals in the occupational series shown above competitive service career, career-conditional, term, or temporary appointments, as appropriate, without regard to provisions of 5 U.S.C or 5 CFR part 211 and prut 337, subpart A. These appointments are subject to public notice requirements in 5 V.S.C. 3327, 3330 and 5 CFR 330, subpart G, and requirements in 5 CFR In addition, HHS must comply with all relevant laws unless HHS is exempted from such laws pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3304a(3). Qualified candidates with veterans preference should be selected as they are found, just as any qualified non-preference eligible candidate would be. l recommend you take particular care in conducting preemployment background investigations to ensure candidates are suitable for Federal employment, may be credentialed in accordance with Govemmentwide credentialing standards and can hold a security clearance at the appropriate level (if required for the particular position). OPM Oversight HHS must use two authority codes when documenting personnel actions using the direct hire authority. The first code "A YM" automatically fills in "Reg I" on the Notification ofpersonnel Action, Standard Form 50. The second authority code "BYO" identifies HHS use of this agency-specific authority. Using these two auth01ity codes will help OPM evaluate the use of these authorities without requiring agency reports. On a periodic basis OPM will determine if continued use is supportable. OPM will monitor HHS use of this authority as well as the continued need for it, an<l may modify or terminate this authority as appropriate.
5 5 I am confident this authority will help you to fill the mission critical positions identified for the Department of Health and Human Services to comply with the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of2010. This authority will provide HHS with the means to meet hiring needs in support of the Act. Please contact Ms. Darlene Phelps at (202) for any additional questions or assistance. cj Sincerely, fvv\j { m Berry rec Lor w JJ \ 7' r c.. \' f
